the idiot's guide to using a flash drive

after ten million years, i have decided to junk my floppies in favor of a two-gigabyte toshiba transmemory. hurrah to me! HURRAH!!!

you may ask, what prompted the ever-kuripot grace to buy a Php 1400 flash drive? well, i'm moving to a different department (more on this some other time), & my new position would involve doing some presentations. nahihiya naman ako sa boss ko kung forever ko na lang ipapa-email sa kanya yung mga powerpoint, kasi wala akong flash drive. ayun.

here's how the newest addition to my office stuff looks like:


at dahil medyo nakakaloka ang presyo ng device na ito, binasa ko ang manual. marami akong natutunang mga importanteng bagay tulad ng:

* accidental swallowing may cause suffocation or injury. contact a doctor immediately if you suspect a child has swallowed the product.

* the product shall not be used with equipment (including but not limited to atomic energy control, airplane or spaceship, transportation, traffic signal, combustion control, or medical instruments, as well as all types of safety devices) that requires extraordinarily high quality and/or reliability, or equipment a malfunction or failure of which may cause loss of human life or bodily injury.

* toshiba assumes no liability for damage or losses due to fire, earthquake, natural disaster, accidents, acts of third parties, or negligent or intentional misuse.

buti na lang, may manual. hahaha! :D

may point ka dun. katangahan na nga lang yung ibang mga idinedemanda nila, kaya siguro sobrang basic nung ibang nakalagay sa manual. parang, "the idiot's guide to using a flash drive". :)

i'm glad you liked the pics. :)

Mura na ata ang P1400 na 2gig. Hehe. Yung saken 128 MB lang umabot ng 1k. Di ata marunong pumili yung bumili. Hehe. Saka matagal na yun. Neway, bigay lang naman so okay lang. Saka ko na lang palitan. Hehe. Ü

ah, okay. mas mahal nga kasi talaga dati. :) tsaka kung mostly pang-school, ok na ang 128MB. ako kasi, isang powerpoint lang yun sa office kaya malaki talaga ang kailangan ko. :)
